I went in expecting full on romance, but The Tenant is more a ghost story with a romance attached. Family history plays a big part in the plot, and I like how the situation is slowly spun out for the reader, as well as how all the delicious details come together in the end. And getting it on with a bisexual ghost? Yes, please.

This is only my second book by Jackson and apparently it's a bit different from her usual, but I'll have to read a few more before I fully grasp what her "usual" is. Go in expecting a ghost story with some sex instead of a full on ghost romance and you'll be golden.

I’m biased towards Katrina Jackson because I read everything she publishes but this was a delightful mix of contemporary and historical PNR. I mean there’s ghost sex AND a ghost threesome of sorts? This a short-ish book that isn’t exactly a traditional romance, more of a ghost story with a romance sub-plot but it still completely worked for me.

Noel inherits a house from his great-aunt and figures why not go for it since he has nothing else going on in his life. Ruby, the ghost, is so fully fleshed as a character that I had to remind myself that she was a ghost. This was a fun book – despite the haunting and violent background to Ruby – and I love that Jackson is exploring different facets of writing and I’ll follow her wherever she goes.
